------
Abstract
-------

The past 2 decades have taught us

that HIV prevention can work. We now

have evidence from places as diverse

as Senegal, Thailand, Uganda, and

Australia that concerted HIV prevention

efforts at the national level have

resulted in the maintenance of low

seroprevalence rates where they otherwise

would have been expected to rise.

We are beginning to observe declining

rates of HIV prevalence and incidence

in places and populations with

historically high rates—for example,

injection drug users in New York City.

This trend points to the long-term impact

of prevention efforts in those

communities.

 

1,2 The best of these efforts

 

have been based on sound scientific

research.

As we move into the third decade

of the AIDS epidemic, it is important

to restate principles, acknowledge advances,

and identify challenges and

future directions in HIV prevention research.
